An Irish Country Family

An Irish Country Novel

De: Patrick Taylor

Narrado por: John Keating

An Irish Country Family is a charming entry in Patrick Taylor's beloved internationally best-selling Irish Country series.

Before Doctor Barry Laverty joined Doctor Fingal O’Reilly's practice in the colorful Irish village of Ballybucklebo, he was an intern, working long hours, practicing new medical techniques, falling in love, and learning what is most important in the medical field for a family physician - the bonds of family, friendships, and human kindness.

Years later, Barry practices everything he has learned in Ballybucklebo, a lovely village where neighbor looks after neighbor. And while his own efforts to start a family with his wife Sue have been frustrated, the community around him couldn’t be stronger as they work together to show their solidarity.

Shifting effortlessly between the two time periods, best-selling author Patrick Taylor continues the story of these beloved characters while vividly bringing the daily joys and struggles of this delightful Irish village to life.

Praise for narrator John Keating:

"Keating is masterful in his interpretatios of the extensive cast of Irish characters.... One can easily visualize the verdant green hills and fresh sea air, making a visit with Keating in the driver's seat a jovial trip back in time." (AudioFile magazine on An Irish Country Practice)

"The charm of Taylor's Irish Country tales is brought to life in John Keating's performance. His Irish lilt will transport listeners straight to Ballybucklebo.... Keating's pacing and inflections are perfect as he gives a unique vocal personality to each character." (AudioFile magazine on An Irish Country Love Story)

"John Keating's wonderful sing-song Irish brogue breathes life and seasonal warmth into this cast of reprobates from the little village of Balleybucklebo.... There is enough charm and seasonal warmth in this package to replicate the spirit of the holidays." (Publishers Weekly on An Irish Country Christmas)

A Fun Visit to an Irish Villiage

I have been reading this series from the beginning and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The story follows the life of an Irish country village called Ballybucklebo in the 1960s. The main protagonist is Fingal Flaherty O’Reilly, M.D., the village physician. Also, added early in the series is Barry Laverty, M.D., who joins O’Reilly’s practice.

The book is well written and researched. The story follows the daily life of an Irish Village. It is mainly a heart-warming story. It makes a great change of pace book after reading some heavy non-fiction books.

The book is fourteen hours and one minute. John Keating does and excellent job narrating the story; in fact, he makes the book. He is so good at all the various Irish regional accents. Keating is an Irish actor and is an award-winning audiobook narrator.

Another great story of Fingal and friends!

As always, I cannot wait until the next installment. It always ends too soon! I love the characters, the story line and the shenanigans of the whole crew! Slainte!

This entire series is outstanding, I’ve enjoyed every book so far and I’m waiting for the next one. The narration by Mr. Keating is Unbelievable. He’s able to change up his voice is so you keep track of all the Characters. Very pleasant to listen to on long trips. I would highly recommend this series. Patrick Taylor is my favorite author.

Always look forward to his stories

Love these stories! Great narrator as I love to listen to his Irish accents.

Once Again, Wonderful, so it is!

Wonderful to be back in Ballybucklebo (this time in 1969) and also insights into Barry’s medical trainings before he joined Fingal’s practice! That’ll do- have yourself a listen. . .
